Lyric

That day that will never return

Still lingers quietly inside my chest

The memories you left with me

Are far too wide, too deep to erase

I close my eyes, you’re standing there

Your gentle smile, your lingering warmth

Tell me how I’m supposed to forget

What still feels alive in me

Along those streets bathed in gold

How many times did we walk side by side?

Laughing at nothing, holding the night

Believing this joy would never fade

I thought no one else in the world

Could ever be happier than we were then

I was so certain, so naïve

That love would stay forever

If wishes truly come true

If miracles still exist somewhere

There’s only one thing I ever ask for

And it’s still you

I want to let you go

I try to forget your name

But my heart won’t listen to reason

It keeps calling you the same

Your love was always too kind

And I leaned on it too much

I thought our hearts were beating as one

But now I’m here alone, missing your touch

Every quiet room reminds me

Of the way you used to say my name

Tracing the windowpane with my fingers

As if answers might fall down like rain

I pretend I’m getting stronger

I tell myself I’ll be okay

But every step away from you

Still feels like I’m losing my way

I finally see it now

The parts of me I couldn’t face

Loving you became my everything

And I forgot my own place

I want to let you go

I swear I’ve tried so hard

But the past keeps pulling me backward

Leaving bruises on my heart

Your love was always too kind

And I depended on it too much

I believed our hearts were truly one

Now all I have is your fading touch

You won’t come back, I know it’s true

The seasons change, and so must I

So tonight I fold away my tears

And whisper one last goodbye

I won’t chase you anymore

I won’t ask you to return

I’ll carry you in quiet memories

And let them slowly burn

If loving you means letting go

Then this is what I choose

Now all that’s left for me to pray

Is happiness for you
